I'm a qualified English teacher and lecturer in English language with more than fourteen years of experience teaching EFL / ESL - both in the classroom and online. I have a BA Honours degree in Drama from the University of Wales and a Postgraduate Certificate in Further Education from the University of Derby.

In 2002 I launched EnglishBanana.com, which has become a hugely popular English language learning resource website.

In 2016 I launched Purland Training, with the aim of teaching a range of subjects - both online and in the classroom. Click here to go there now: http://purlandtraining.com

i like the idea of working on improving your Listening skills without any equipment at all =)....your students keep reading themselves, identifying changes, underlining, writing down and finally - discussing. 100% of involvement - whan can be better?...thanks for sharing, Matt
